The next day partisans arrive at his house and take Flyora with them, to the dismay of Flyoras mother. She fears that the loss of her son, like his father before him, will lessen her and her daughters chances of survival.The partisans converge in a forest and prepare to confront the Germans. Flyora joins their forces as a lowrank militiaman and is ordered to do all the labor in the detachment. When the partisans are ready to move on, their commander, Kosach played by Liubomiras Lauciavicius and dubbed by Valeriy Kravchenko, orders Flyora to remain behind at the camp in reserve and exchange boots with one of his fellows. Bitterly disappointed, Flyora walks into the forest weeping and comes across someone else who has been left behind Glafira or Glasha, played by Olga Mironova, a beautiful girl infatuated with Kosach. The girl becomes delusional and confuses Flyora with Kosach and kisses him. Suddenly, German airplanes appear and begin to drop German parachutists, and the camp comes under heavy artillery fire causing Flyora to go deaf. ........
